I'm using openSuse 11.2 x64 with KDE 4.3.4 and have strange issue with glslideshow screensaver. It shows only one picture all the time, however if I test it from xscreensaver-demo (not from KDE Desktop Configuration) it works properly. Here is my configuration file below:

thx a lot for the reply, but don't sure that I follow you. What command do you mean? System runs screensaver itself after an user inaction. I don't run it by a command. Results if I press "test" button in KDE Desktop Configuration Wallpapers dialog and in case when screensaver runs because of my inaction are the same: only one random picture rotating over and over. However, if I execute xscreensaver-demo from command line and there press "Preview" everything works properly.

If you mean command that KDE uses to start that slideshow, then I guess that it's "glslideshow -root -duration 15 -pan 15 -fade 5" from configuration file above.

Problem resolved. The answer is that screensaver can be used from two different places: KDE Desktop Configuration and xscreensaver-demo. And it has different configuration files for these cases. In the first one it was configured not properly.

"With the default settings of -pan 6 -duration 30, each image
will be displayed five times (30/6), and then a new image will
be loaded. If you want a new image to be loaded at each fade,
then set -pan and -duration to the same value."
